Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
Can't wait to watch Force Awakens again 
2nd best Star Wars film after Revenge of the Sith.

Sounds like the end credits cue on the BD has been changed a bit from the theatrical version; it's longer, and uses different renditions of a bunch of motifs like Rey's. The original ending with her and the Force's theme intermingling (aka the best part of the entire credits suite) remains intact, thankfully.

Huh, really? I know the version on the CD wasn't what was actually at the end of the film, but I was pretty sure the For Your Consideration version was. Is this blu-ray version not the same as the FYC either?
I'm listening to the FYC version right now and yeah, that YT is definitely arranged differently.
Unless the uploader is pulling some hijinks

Screen Caps look great on the bluray.com review.
Also, looks like the slipcover and the cover art are different.

Somebody's uploaded the menu on YouTube. I like how they included Rey sliding down inside the Star Destroyer. It's better than many of the completely static ones used these days.

I really hope that Best Buy price for the steelbook changes, its still $30. I mean its Star Wars, so I probably will keep the preorder. I hope it goes down to $24 before it ships or something though.
Super excited to get this bluray. I've had the itch to watch this movie again

Ouch.. Revenge is a really bad film, SW or otherwise. It's got a few good moments, but even those aren't that great.

Also, looks like the slipcover and the cover art are different.
Is that a black blu-ray case or is it just lighting? Pretty cool if so.
Though that's ironic that it would be novel since all DVD cases were black.
I think this is a mock job, they used clips from trailers set against a background from a trailer, there is absolutely nothing new there that couldnt have been made by a fan with existing footage.

The guy in charge of captions had some fun with this one.

Very much in line with the DVD menus of the OT and PT. I always liked those, as overdone as they sometimes were. Every time you'd boot up the DVD, you'd get one of three randomly generated menu themes, based on the locations in the film. The main menu would be like this one - a single composited wide shot from the film with a screen masked out with a montage fading through. So like, Empire Strikes Back had Bespin, Hoth and Dagobah.
Those were fun.
Blu-Ray.com shows the cover with a black case.

I wonder if that is something Disney is doing lately. I don't buy too many Blurays, but my Ant-Man Bluray case is black as well.

I got my standard blu ray yesterday. That Documentary is really good. you guys will enjoy it. Cool to see some of the PT guys from ILM and lucas film got to work on a cool star wars film again. They looked re-energized.

has there been any update on the 3D blu ray version?
How are the deleted scenes?
Liquidsnake

Some unpolished, but I think every single one of them should have been included in the movie.
there is a long 1-2 min scene with Leia running the show at the resistance base, that was probably taken out to protect her flaws in acting.
Kylo on the Falcon was very nice.
The snow Speeder chase was very unfinished, and unpolished.
Finn and the Villager was just to long with the 2 staring at each other, I get why it was taken out.
One day well get an ultimate cut.
Makes sense they would use that scene as part of the final auditions - if the actors couldn't pull off the internalization of their confrontation there, the scene would have collapsed into comedy. She's amazing.
My birthday was this past weekend, but I feel like the release of this will be my deferred present. I don't think I've ever actually been this excited about a video release before.
Have to say its not really that impressive, a bit jarring given the angle, meh.
It is Star Wars, there ain't no "ultimate cuts". At very least, i would not expect one to appear, ever.

Additionally I don't think Abrams has ever released a second cut of any of his films

Well it would have to be a case of Disney doing it with his approval or not.
The thing I liked as lot was the short behind the scenes regarding the snow forrest fight.

Disney's not going to fuck with anything. That would be a Lucasfilm decision, and I absolutely don't see Kathleen Kennedy approving alternate cuts without JJ's approval.

I would have loved to have seen it in IMAX 3D one last time!

I would have loved to have seen it in IMAX 3D at all.
By the time I was finally going to have someone to go with me, Deadpool had JUST come out and edged out all remaking TFA showings...

I can't figure out how to post the link to the video directly from Facebook, but this page has a video of all deleted scenes on the Blu Ray!

Nothing. The consensus is possibly a "collector's package" or some-such in anticipation of the Rogue One release.
Hopefully it will have the IMAX ratio, as well.
At this point, though, I'm not holding my breath. Disney/LucasFilm could just as easily release a digital version and say "Here's the 3D version we promised you!" Nothing in the release says Blu-ray 3D, although Bill Hunt insists it is.

did you only go once? m'lady and I went 6 times lol. I can't wait to see it again
I'm still debating.
I'd say the black box looks better, but I'm not entirely sure. :/

Not at all. He seems like a good dude.
Now J.J. ABRAMS, though -- dude's a f**king hack.
